Also:

“I worked for the circus,” Lesnar said of the WWE. “For me, [the back-and-forth insults] is a chance for me to let some personality out because I don’t do it a lot. I’m a private guy, but if I want to add a little salt and pepper on every once in awhile, that’s fine with me.”

The Brock Lesnar you see in interviews is making the UFC a metric fuckton of money. I don't begrudge that man making his paper for one second, and as I've said before, believing anything a professional wrestler says into a microphone is one of the major warning signs of moderate mental retardation.

Wow. I can't believe you posted that interview in his defence.

So why doesn't Miguel Torres grow some balls and bash someone other than Brock Lesnar? Cain Velasquez just had a pretty similar win, handy that Torres would rather stick with the easy, played out target. People are talking about the corporate line, **** that, Torres is just hopping on the bandwagon. He's not stupid, he saw people booing Lesnar, and he wants to snuggle up to their nuts.

Okay. I can't believe you can fit two cucumbers in your ass.

People booing Lesnar doesn't bother me at all, but criticizing him for the method he uses to win is absoultely retarded. He's a wrestler so what the **** do you expect him to do? He took it to Mir's back which is supposedly his bread and butter and completely dominated him from there. I give him props for that.

I have no issue with people criticizing him for his attitude however, and he does come across as a complete jerk in his interviews.

'Coz Cain isn't the undisputed champion of the world, hasn't made huge paydays since he set foot in the UFC and doesn't have a fraction of the name recognition.

C'mon, if Brock's justified in acting like a jerk in order to get attention and earn money then Miguel is justified in complaining about to get himself some attention and earn himself some money too.

How about we vote about pay.

Each UFC fan will be asked what they are willing to pay to watch a certain fighter fight. We find the average amount of money people are willing to pay to watch two particular fighters fight, and we pay them that much.

The disgust you are feeling after reading that is because you all know damn well that the fans of UFC will pay a hell of a lot more to watch Cock Lesnar fight than most other fighters. UFC knows this. It's why things are the way they are. It sucks but it's life.

The guy's, according to him, 49-1. Officially they have him at 37-1. How is he not making enough money...

*singing*

One of these things is not like the other
One of these things just isn't the same
The big white guy makes his own way
The little Mexican plays the tagalong game

On the subject of Mayweather:

Well, I'm not a white person, and I will smash his ass.

I think it's funny that he will bash Lesnar and then say the same exact thing as him.

I don't know Brock Lesnar personally. Maybe he's a decent person. I'm still confused as to how anyone can put on as much of a tough guy act as he has and then repeatedly whine like a little bitch about the referee not coming to his rescue quite in time for his liking in the original Mir fight.

Then there are the obvious questions of the cock with a handle, his trailer park sensibilities, and that constant vacant expression plastered on his face, but I guess 'giant mongoloid rapist' is a pretty good gimmick to unnerve your opponent.

Great interview. I'm glad to see a lot more fighters with some flavor lately. Most of these exchanges with fighters are distinctly similar to watching paint dry. It's easy to collect a running tally of use the words 'battle', 'war', 'bang' or the ever so insightful, 'i'm looking for a submission or a knock out'.
